A lot of those points seem like things left leaning politicians are trying to push for, so the fact that many countries are now voting right wing parties to power makes me a bit worried for EU's future. (Recent examples are Italy, Sweden, Finland and many more coming according to polls).

Yeah Finland just started with a right-wing cabinet which has turned out to be a mess in the first two weeks.
We probably won't have to watch the disastrous policies for the whole four year term but there isn't much options in the voting game. Leftish (reformist, not even anticapitalists) has an 8% voter base.
The pendulum will swing to a centrist cabinet next time which usually do nothing.
Polarization and disinformation are pushing EU voters towards populist parties. And for that, there is no easy solution.
Wow, that's quite the ignorant statement to make in a world where people are forced to vote for more extreme parties because the more center parties have been in power without any real results due to corruption and incompetence. That doesn't make the extreme choice the better one but in a system where you're only able to impact reality at scale by being allowed to vote for rich people with big marketing budgets, well, the only other option is not to play at all.
The extremist populists are propped by the rich people for the population to be splintered. Every time they are in power they do the rich's bidding and try to make Europe a bit more like US/China/Russia
One option is to make the playing field more than just rigged elections
